Last night around 11:30 p.m., the police came to Sarah Dolezal’s home to inform her that her store, A Muddy Cup (266 NE 45th St.), had just been burglarized. Someone had thrown a rock through the door and shattered the glass to break in. Police informed Dolezal that someone had also broken into Comics Dungeon (250 NE 45th St.).

Dolezal wrote to let me know that they’re still open for business, “just a little shaken.” She and her partner Mathew spent the rest of the night in the store. Suspects had smashed the cash machine but to her surprise Dolezal found only $4.25 missing in quarters.

Comics Dungeon manager Jon Parsons received a phone call from the police around 10 p.m. He, too, reported damage to the store, but nothing had actually been taken. “The front window on the door is completely gone. The (cash) drawer is trashed but nothing was taken,” Parsons said. He also said a wire shelf collapsed with its contents spread all over the place.
